15 million people in Ethiopa depend on the coffee sector; this generates 60 % of the wealth. So starbucks keep them afloat.
Starbucks helped differentiate Ethiopan coffee from coffees from other countries. It strengths their confidence of the coffee growing and exporters of the country.
This means theres an increasing demand for Ethiopian coffee in the worldwide market.
Increases the income and living stanards of the coffee producers.
Increased the price of coffee.
Starbucks have increased the amount theyre paying for the coffee beans by 60% to help them out.
Through Fairtrade the small-holder families and farmers can get better incomes for their hardwork.
This allows their children a good opportunity to go to school. And hold onto their land.
For every coffee they sell a litle profit goes to the Fair Trade. When other major companies would not.
